The torque of the xl motors passes the 8L. My brother used to run the 8L. He like the xl motors much better. You can gear them for more speed have more torque with less heat. I had a 7xl geared 22 66 with 18 cells on it. The 8L didn't stand a chance. It could have used a fan on it. It was fast and powerful.

What kind of batteries are you guys running and what chargers are you using?

How does runtime compare between an L series and an XL series? I am running a 9L at 16/72 and have about a 20 minute run time for the first run of the day on my only set of 13 GP3300's, as well as good speed, but I haven't measured it yet. The motor does often get too hot to touch. Usually about 60 degrees Celcius, or about 140 degrees F. I would like at least the same speed that I have now, or about 40MPH and the same runtime. Which XL should I get and what gearing should I run with it? I may not get one due to being low on cash, but I can still plan:027:.
Also, how hot is too hot for a 9L motor? I really don't want to ruin it.

Thanx,
Brijar!!!
